It is being reported that at least 12 people were shot. Hard to tell if all of these reports are factual but she has definitely been shot. They do have the suspect in custody.
 
One of the people at the event apparently ran after him and tackled him.
 
Reports on Fox say they are getting word that she has died and that there are multiple fatalities. Prayers for all of those families.
 
I've been around a lot of congressmen appearing in public places without security.
 
The Hospital is reporting that she is alive and in critical condition. Apparently she is in surgery.
 
That's what I heard too, NJ. Don't be surprised if this goes back to a cartel in Mexico. This doesn't sound right saying, but I kind of hope it does because we will have a big reason to go in clear out those thugs. I worries me though since we have a thug in the WH and he won't do anything about it.
 
Her district did border with Mexico. She said the federal government was doing a lousy job on border security and immigration. She called for tougher border patrol enforcement and more border patrol agents.
 
They are reporting (second hand info) that they know the name of the shooter and are running that name through home land security and checking the "watch list". No implications but to me that could be terrorism. Stay tuned.
 
People who have been arrested illegally crossing the border are also put on the watch list.
 
Are you talking about the guy with the sun glasses hanging from the pocket of his coat?
 
whoever that hospital rep was........

They also confirmed earlier that the judge had died. A nine year girl among the dead too.
 
A 22-yr old white male named Jared Loughner has been arrested along with another person in this shooting. He doesn't sound Muslim or Mexican.
